Tony's Top 5

Holiday requests

5
Clear skies for the Winter Classic. This is New England. It snows here. Let’s hope for clear skies when the Bruins play the Flyers. No?
4
A healthy roster for the Celtics. First, Big Baby was out. Now it’s Marquis Daniels and Paul Pierce. When do we get to see this team from top to bottom?
3
A goal scorer for the Bruins. What the heck, let’s shoot for the moon. Is there really a way for the Bruins to get Ilya Kovalchuk?
2
A slugger for the Red Sox. Maybe it’s Adrian Gonzalez. Maybe it’s Miguel Cabrera. But if you’re not worried about the lineup, you should be.
1
Dismiss the Bills’ game. Of the Pats’ 28 sacks, 10 have come against a Buffalo team that has allowed the second-most in the NFL.

Red Sox spring training story lines

5
Shortstop Apparently, it's reached the point where the Red Sox have to trade their shortstop to trim payroll. Anyone feel good about that?
4
Carl Crawford After a poor debut season in Boston, he had wrist surgery. And now we know the owner never wanted him.
3
The bullpen No small story here. Jonathan Papelbon is gone and Daniel Bard is in the rotation. Welcome, Mark Melancon and Andrew Bailey.
2
Bobby Valentine The last time the Red Sox changed managers, they won the World Series. Will history repeat?
1
Josh Beckett By the end of last season, Beckett seemed to lose his focus and his fire. Can he bounce back - and stay healthy, too?

"Embarrassment of riches" is a bit of an overstatement, Mazz, and will be until we're actually outspending the Yankee$ on a regular basis.
